Considerable interest was manifested At oui
little election for School Director on Thursday
last. J.P. D., the most popular, the most In

polling II votes for his man; while the littl,
fellow who was successful, and who did no
know he was u candidate until the evening Of

probably acknowledge that truth Is mighty
and will prevail" while misrepresentation anC
falsehood rarely accomplish anything. II any
